.

Yup, you know the drill. Every few weeks or so, we handpick a couple of quality vintage timepieces, at different price points, from this amazing marketplace called the Internet and present them to you. This time around it's no different. We have a chronograph, a dress watch, a steel sport watch and of course, our Unicorn Find (read on to find out) and this, is your Weekend Brunch Report Volume 15. Let's check them out!

<HKD20,000: A Hamilton Panda Chronograph with "Tropical" Dial

The term Panda Chronograph generally describes chronographs with a white dial that carries black sub-dials - not unlike the colors of a panda's face - and they are quite sought after thanks to their striking appearance as a result of the interplay between the two contrasting colors. This particular Hamilton chronograph, more famously known as "Poor Man's Carrera", presents a tremendously aged Panda dial, with its sub-dials having evolved into a brown, or "tropical", hue, a very nice character to have. The 36mm, manually wound chronograph is powered by the robust, non-column wheel Valjoux 7733 movement and best part is, you don't need to break a bank to own a Panda Chronograph with this one (the same cannot be said for this one).

HKD20,000 - 50,000: An Insanely Mint Longines Art Deco Dress Watch

Also making our Report this week is an oversized, Art Deco dress watch from Longines in 18kt yellow gold. The condition of the watch is absolutely pristine, having shown no signs of polishing and really, even no scratches or anything like that, which is truly amazing. The 38mm case size - considered oversized back in the 40s - feels totally in place today, giving it a much welcomed modern touch, as if this is a vintage-inspired reissue.

Now let's move on to discuss the dial and hands. The dial contains a few features that could make any serious vintage watch collector's heart race. First of all, You have what we call a "Sector" dial (the dial looks like it's cut into several sections along the hour markers, kind of like the crusts of a pizza), a feature seldom seen in new releases these days anymore, perhaps except for products from Laurent Ferrier. Secondly, the ring of minute markers outside of the hour markers, also known as the "Railway" dial is yet another decidedly favourable vintage element. The hands in blue steel compliment the gold case and creamy dial very ideally, providing even more visual interests. All in all, this has ticked all the right boxes for a textbook dress watch from the bygone era when Art Deco was still the guiding decorative principle to anything ranging from a timepiece to a skyscraper. The movement? Go see for yourself. Hint: it's no less a treat to the eyes than the watch dial.

HKD50,000 - 100,000: A Royal Oak Annual Calendar

Ar, the Royal Oak. The watch that really doesn't need introduction (to understand its design process and the man behind it, go here). Ever since its inception in 1972, the Audemars Piguet has become the face of the manufacture and has taken quite an impressive amount of forms, from the simple 3-hand to the more complicated ones with chronograph function, tourbillon and so on. The one featured here has a rather special trick to it: the annual calendar. Which means that you don't have to worry about adjusting the date of the month until the next February, as it will account for the long and short months itself. In this particular example, the user can read the date by looking at where the tip of the third hand - in the shape of a semi-circle, in white - rests, which is a somewhat dynamic and interesting way of going about it. The day of the week disc sits every so slightly off-centre, finding itself sitting between 5 and 6 0'clock, further adding to the sporty look of the watch. The deep blue dial is a treat all by itself, too.

​The 36mm Royal Oak can be found here. You can get it for around HKD71,500. Not bad for an annual calendar per se.

And......The Unicorn Find: A Reverso from 1940s

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is of course a household name and should not be something new to you Lengbeau reader. What started as a purely functional watch with the protection of the watch face in mind by incorporating the ingenious "flipping" mechanism, has transcended its original mission and become the quintessential dress watch. Its heritage and association with the sport of polo, along with the unique shape and function are amongst the things that made this a winner in its very long history (of 70-something years, to be exact). And this week we bring you an early model from 1940s that has its black lacquer dial completely unrestored, in steel case. It is just so beautiful to look at. The highly desirable and rare lacquer dial aside, the rest of the dial is immaculate, too, featuring gilt through out, from watch hands to hour markers to the minute track. When all of these elements in gold found themselves on the same piece of lacquer , it doesn't get more vintage-ish than this. The Reverso in question comes in a small-ish 38mm from one end of the lug to the other, but that's, again unsurprisingly, what makes us fall in love with it.

This time capsule of a Reverso is priced at a very reasonable HKD62,600 and is being offered here. I guarantee you this will make heads turn, even those belonging to the most discerning Reverso collector.
